Tap(@Alles Gärbar, Bochum): Hazy, reddish-amber coloured, no head to speak of; almonds, cherries, wood and vinegar in the sour and sweetish nose; moderate, still not too strong, sour flavour, moderately balanced by a well detectable residual sweetness, light to medium bodied, tart MF; lingering fruity, almondy and a bit balsamico-like finish, sorrounded by typical Lambik flavours. Yes, yes! A very fine Lambik of high drinkability…

Girardin’s unblended cherry lambic, purplish red in colour, no head as expected for the style. Refined, honest and earthy character, delicate funkiness, cheesy, very fruity with enough real cherries; still unsweetened contrary to the bottled kriek and in that sense a lot more interesting for lambic lovers, relatively mild, and very elegant. Great example of its particular style, like their regular lambic.

Bottle. Pours a deep dark red with almost no head. Aromas of pressed cherries and barnyard. Flavors of cherry pie and light funk. A nice light Kriek for a summer evening.

Draft @ Bierhuiske in Antwerp. Clear red color, no head. Aroma of sweet cherries together with some barnyard and horseblanket. Actually not that tart and a bit too sweet for my liking. Drinks very easily though.

On tap, pours a hazy dark pinkish amber with only a few bubbles for a head. Aroma of subtle cherries, and some slight sweetness. Flavour of lightly sweetened cherries, a light vinegar quality, and a very small hint of cherry tartness. Quite still-bodied, with a pronounced cherry character and a touch of sweetness. Easily drinkable stuff -- great kriek.
